The possible departure of Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich has generated a significant climate of uncertainty regarding the future of the Canadian. Why? Initially, it was thought that with his contract renewal with the Munich team still not finalized, which ends on June 30, 2025, Real Madrid seemed to be the main favorite to secure his services. However, recent reports suggest that Barcelona is now positioned as a serious competitor for the acquisition of the Buduburam native.
According to various sources, initially, Alphonso Davies would be a request from Hansi Flick to strengthen the left-back position with a player who is one of the best in the world in his position. In addition, the Canadian has the important addition of having previously coincided with the German coach during his time at Bayern Munich, where he was his stellar left-back, contributing a total of three goals and 10 assists in 70 matches under the guidance of the Heidelberg native.
However, this negotiation might not be the simplest of all. Despite Alphonso Davies possibly intending to join the sports project of FC Barcelona, where there is a coach who knows him and previously helped him develop, and a team that inspires to achieve great goals, there is still an important point to agree on in this operation: the economic aspect.
The alleged salary that Alphonso Davies would be demanding to sign for Barcelona
Now, as reported by 'SPORT', the acquisition of Alphonso Davies by Barcelona would entail a significant cost, as the Canadian would reportedly demand a significant signing bonus to finalize his addition to the team. Additionally, according to the same source, the '19' of Bayern Munich and the Canadian national team would seek to receive a total of €10 million net per season in terms of salary.
Coincidentally, this amount would be lower than what he currently earns at the Munich team, where, according to 'Capology' metrics, he earns a total of €11.2 million net per season. However, in Barcelona's salary scale, according to the information from the mentioned website, it would have a significant impact, as the full-back would move to the upper range of the salary scale, aligning with players like Robert Lewandowski and Frenkie de Jong. Therefore, it remains to be seen if the Catalan club is in a position to assume this investment for the Canadian.
